Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We record floor heights at a grid of points through living areas, halls and bedrooms to build a clear profile of how the floor behaves across the home. This matters because a measured pattern is far more reliable than a visual judgement, especially in carpeted rooms or where furniture hides dips.
The survey highlights the highest and lowest areas and shows the direction and rate of fall. This helps pinpoint likely movement zones—such as along external walls, around previous extensions, or where support lines may have settled—so repairs can be targeted rather than guesswork.
We pay extra attention to kitchens, laundries and bathrooms where moisture issues can affect subfloor supports or slab edges. Understanding whether a low point clusters around wet areas helps you decide if plumbing leaks, poor drainage, or past water damage needs investigation.
We measure across doorways and junctions between original and renovated zones to detect abrupt level changes. In Brighton East, where updates and extensions are common, these step changes can indicate different footing systems, differential settlement, or subfloor support alterations.
Where readings suggest subfloor support problems, we outline practical next steps—such as subfloor access checks, stump condition review, or engaging a structural engineer. The goal is to turn measurements into an actionable plan, not just numbers on a page.
You receive a readable summary of the measured floor behaviour, key concern areas, and what the pattern likely indicates. This is designed to be shared with your builder or engineer so they can quote and design based on documented readings.

Yes. Many Brighton East homes with suspended timber floors can show slope from age, subfloor moisture, or changes to stumps and bearers over time. A Digital Floor Level Survey measures the floor profile across rooms so you can see whether the fall is gradual and consistent, or whether there are sharp dips that may indicate localised support issues requiring targeted rectification.
A building inspection can note that floors feel uneven, but it won’t usually provide a measured map of how uneven they are or where the high and low points sit. A Digital Floor Level Survey quantifies the floor behaviour across the home, making it easier to brief a builder, compare areas of concern, and decide whether further structural assessment is warranted.
We take readings from accessible finished surfaces, including carpeted areas, tiles and timber floors. Furniture, rugs and tight spaces can limit point locations, but we plan the grid to capture the overall pattern and any obvious transitions. If there’s a specific concern area—such as a doorway step or a dip near a bathroom—we’ll prioritise readings around that zone.
Yes. We measure across the join lines between original rooms and additions to identify step changes and different rates of fall. This is particularly useful where an extension has a different footing system or where subfloor supports were altered. The results help you understand whether the transition is simply a construction junction or whether it suggests differential settlement that should be investigated further.
If the pattern suggests localised settlement, we’ll outline practical next steps based on what’s likely causing it. That may include checking subfloor supports, reviewing drainage and moisture sources, or engaging a structural engineer for design advice before major works. If you’re buying, you can also use the findings to request further investigations or adjust your offer based on documented evidence.
